Basque Country · Bay of Biscay
Buying property in Guipúzcoa,
where the mountains meet the sea.
Buying property in Guipúzcoa after Brexit brings you to the smallest of the Basque provinces, Gipuzkoa in Basque. Its coast runs from the border with France to the edge of Vizcaya.
Search propertiesSan Sebastián is its best-known address, set around La Concha bay between Monte Igueldo and Monte Urgull. Inland, steep green valleys climb towards the mountains shared with Álava and Navarra.
Homes along the coast and in the valleys
Along the shore, Hondarribia faces France across the Bidasoa, while Zarautz and Getaria look out over the open sea. In San Sebastián, the interest often lies in apartments in period buildings near the beach and in hillside houses above the bay.
Level land is scarce, so homes with gardens are sought after and older buildings deserve a careful survey. Guipúzcoa has its own provincial tax rules; a local specialist should confirm what applies before you sign.
Since Brexit, British buyers follow the same steps as any buyer from outside the European Union. Tell us what you are looking for, from a sea-view apartment to a house in the hills, and use the search to set area, type and budget.
